“I really love British sports cars and damn it, I will go down with that ship if I have to,” Seinfeld says while talking about the Austin Healey.As the comedians travel for coffee, Seinfeld frightens Gervais by making the most of the car’s 150-hp straight-six engine and crashing its suspension over bumps. Gervais says if Seinfeld didn’t have the fame he does, the show should be called “A Man Wants to Drive You Around New York Really Fast in a Death Machine, Laughing.”Check out the first episode here and let us know what you think of the new series in the comment section below.

I've owned a '66 3000 since '72 As Billy Joel said "when I wore a younger man's clothes". In size and shape they are among the best looking cars ever. However, beneath that beautiful shape there lives a bewilderingly complicated apparatus.

Buying a vintage British sports car is like marrying an attractive person without looking into their family history.

I sold my 67 Healey a year ago and I can identify with that car. At first I thought this was Seinfeld's car but there are credits at the end stating the dealer who apparently owns it. I know that Seinfeld has many valuable Porsche's. With the top up that car is actually very dangerous, the visibility is bad and as you can see, there are no fender mirrors on that car, only the one on the dash which is not enough. Re the bit about Gervais not knowing where the car is from etc, I along with 31 other Healeys shipped our car to the UK for 3 weeks of touring and there were young people who had no idea that England had built a lot of wonderful cars in years past. I loved this show.
